You might see option 'Something else' select it.
now select partition where you want to install ubuntu asign '/' partition and swap partition.
NOTE:- select partition carefully,take important data backups in case you fail.

Open Disk Management in Windows and select your C: by clicking it. Right click on the selected disk and select Shrink volume.... Reduce your disk size and click Shrink.
Power off the PC and restart entering the BIOS/UEFI. Select your installation drive to boot first, save and reboot.
Now you should have the option Install Ubuntu alogside Windows.
If you still don't get that option select Something else and do partitioning by yourself.
Create a SWAP partition like your RAM (if you have more than 8GB of RAM 4-8GB SWAP should be enough).
Create an EXT4 partition with the remaining space assigning that / as mount point.
Ubuntu should use Windows EFI partition to install the GRUB.
Now you should be able to compleet the installation.
When installation process has completed, remember to disable Windows fast startup from Power options or Ubuntu will never boot.
